During Paul’s playing days as a goalkeeper he was fortunate to play at a high standard reaching the national semi-final of the English Schools U19 Cup and two Surrey Schools County Cup finals, whilst at college. He trained with Crystal Palace at 16-17 years old, he represented South of England Colleges, just missing out on the England Colleges squad and played semi-pro football before going onto university
